Music Lessons in Little Silver, NJ

Instruments: Piano Voice

Since moving to NYC, I have also started teaching at the New City School of Music in New City, NY.

I firmly believe that it is as important that students learn basic musicianship skills such as sight-singing and music theory as learning their instrument of choice, and I try to incorporate these elements, among others, in voice lessons.
